Maybe he is thinking that putting a vaccine safety critic in charge will take some of the wind out of the sails of the anti-vaccine crowd.
Trump has stated and I agree, that these all in one vaccines are dangerous and quite possibly are contributing to the rise in autism. He’s not anti-vaccine, he’s anti-all at once vaccination. There is an immune response to just one vaccine. Overwhelming an immature immune system like that cannot be good, regardless. It’s done to save time and expense, not to benefit the child.
That isn’t it. His history shows he is worried about vaccines and autism. He said he spaced out Barron’s shots because of it.
